Although VirtualBox allows export of virtual machines in the standard OVF/OVA format, they will not import into ESXi without manual edits to the configuration (detailed here). GBIB is distributed as a VirtualBox VM, which cannot be directly imported into ESXi. This is simpler than configuring and maintaining a stand-alone mirror installation. To allow use of the UCSC browser on-campus we deployed GBIB on a VMWare ESXi host. Some data is also private, and cannot leave the University. Because of firewall restrictions on campus it's not straightforward to setup a track hub accessible from the public browser site. NOTE These are notes from a user of an unsupported deployment of GBiB to VMWare ESXiĪt UT Southwestern, the BioHPC high performance computing group provides services for a range of users, many of whom use the public UCSC Genome Browser regularly.
